Introductory Notice to Constitutions of the Holy Apostles.
[3794] [Canons 51–53 are from the Apostolic Constitutions: the first from vi. 8, 10, 26; the second from ii. 12, 13; the third from v. 20.—R.]
[3797] [Canons 54–57 are of unknown origin; the first is deemed ancient, while the conduct forbidden in the others points to a more recent date. Drey thinks the distinctions of the clergy also point to a later date.—R.]
[3799] [Canon 58 is supposed to refer to the absence of bishops at the imperial city, which prevailed in the middle of the fourth century.—R.]
[3800] [Canon 59 resembles the twenty-fifth canon of Synod of Antioch; see on Canon 9.—R.]
[3801] [Of doubtful origin, but resembling Apostolic Constitutions vi. 16, though probably of later date.—R.]
[3802] [Canons 61, 62, are of unknown origin.—R.]
[3804] [Canon 63 is regarded as very ancient.—R.]
[3805] [Canon 64 is numbered as 66 In Hefele’s edition, being preceded by Canons 65 and 66 as given above. It is from Apostolic Constitutions, v. 20.—R.]
[3806] [Canon 65 is from Apostolic Constitutions, ii. 61.—R.]
[3807] [Of unknown but probably late origin.—R.]
[3808] [Drey makes this one of the most recent canons of the collection.—R.]
[3809] [Of unknown origin, probably recent.—R.]
[3810] [Drey considers Canon 69 to be very ancient, but also intimates that it and Canon 70 were taken from the pseudo-Ignatian Epistle to the Philippians; see the same, chap. xiii., latter half, vol. i. p. 119, of this series.—R.]
[3811] [With Canons 70, 71, compare Synod of Elvira (a.d. 305 or 306), Canons 49, 50, in Hefele, vol. i. pp. 158, 159. Drey, however, derives them from Canons 37–39 of Laodicea (a.d. 363).—R.]
[3812] Lev. v. 16. [It is argued from the theft forbidden that this canon is more recent; its origin is unknown.—R.]
